D. Decanniere

"Mike was on top of the market and helped us complete the sale of our unique home at the right price and terms."

Brett VanBortel

"Mike is a pro. Knows the market, knows the price, knows what needs to be done to move a property. And very pleasant, too, even thoughtful in his communication with my 83 year old mother."

James Sarwark

"After 15 months with other Realtors, and no offers (and very few showings), Michael, and his team, got the job done in less than five months. His professionalism and "Can Do" attitude made a difference, and I don't hesitate for one second recommending him to anyone... especially during these trying times!"

Penny B.

Highly Recommended!

"Michael LaFido stayed in contact on a regular basis by sending out video emails. He even recognized holidays with you. He was great in getting back to me when I had questions or concerns in a timely manner. Communication is huge for me. I would highly recommend him as a Realestate broker."

T. Swiegand

My husband and I interviewed three Realtor groups and we were happy to choose Mike. He was very direct and honest about the real estate process. He suggested some creative marketing plans and provided a complimentary stager to come out to get our house ready for sale. Within a day of going "Live," we were under contract with the first group to walk through. His negotiation skills got us a great price for our home. Both Mike and Cindy checked in with us throughout the process of inspection and closing. They have followed up with us to check in on how our family is doing in our new home. We felt that we're were treated like friends and looked out for during a stressful time of relocating to a new state. We would be happy to recommend Mike and his team to all of our friends.

Mike helped my wife and I sell our first home and helped us find purchase our second home. We sold the home in less than 1 week! He provided helpful tips to "show" the house and in turn it was a buyers dream. At the same time we got the price we wanted. For the purchase of the new home, we looked at many properties that he knew we would like and ultimately found a great home at a great value! Swift and easy negotiations led us to move into the new home in a time frame that helped make the transition very smooth for my family. I wish all of my future transactions went this perfect! Thanks Mike!

Michael LaFido was able to sell our home quickly after taking on the job. He had great knowledge of the neighborhood and the price point we should sell our home. He came to our house explained his process and was able to answer any question asked of him. He was in direct response with us on a consistent basis. When we had an offer on our house he was able to negotiate a great price that we were all happy to accept. He was positive and upbeat throughout the entire process. I would recommend Michael LaFido to any person in need of a realtor to get the job done.

Mike is a creative strategic thinker and a go-getter who will do what it takes to get the job done. Mike is an excellent negotiator and has sharp acute knowledge of the real estate market that he has used to inspire realtors nationwide and to help families find their perfect home.

His responsiveness and personal attention makes you feel like family. Would I recommend Mike LaFido? Absolutely. With the highest regards.

Buyer | Seller

I've had the pleasure of doing business with Michael both for business and personal matters. I can confidently say that he is one of the finest business professionals I have had the opportunity to work with. His knowledge of his marketplace and the industry is priceless, his time management is impeccable, and he gladly offers advice and consultation...that often results in no financial gain for him. If you are looking for a savvy and values-driven professional with whom to business, your search stops with Michael LaFido and his team. Less.

Buyer | Seller

Mike did a great job with our purchase. We described what was important to us and he was able to guide us to a wide variety of homes that met our needs. When we found a house we wanted, Mike was able to work with a very challenging seller to keep the deal on track. Despite delays, misdirections, and an overinflated view of values, Mike was able to keep the deal together and keep us motivated and excited. He made the process easy, was great in interacting with our kids during the process, and we enthusiastically recommend him to anyone.

Buyer | Seller

Michael was very knowledgeable regarding properties and subdivisions in the areas we were interested in. He guided us through the process and with his help we found the perfect home. At the same, time he did an excellent job at performing a market analysis and providing feedback to get the most  out of selling our home. We listed it somewhat above appraised value and it was under contract at a higher newly appraised value within one month. I would highly recommend Michael LaFido both as a buyer and seller agent. 

Christie L.

Mike was extremely helpful is our short sale process on our rental property. His knowledge of the workings of a short sale and his patience were excellent. He understood that we wanted to be very involved in the process, unlike most, and he allowed us to do so. He was quick to respond to questions and requests, even when the bank or our attorney asked for things on a weekend, holiday, or well after business hours. His staff also was very professional and seemed to be truly invested in the sale of my home as well.

K. Francesconi

Mike LaFido is extremely professional and will go above and beyond to get the job done. He presents himself in a confident and yet laid back manner. It is very obvious that Mike truly loves his profession and it shows the moment you meet him. His number one goal is to make his clients happy. As the  housing market can be quite complicated these days Mike gives it his all to make you feel at ease. I highly, highly recommend Mike if you are in the market to buy or sell a home.

Brian G. Adams

Michael LaFido is a terrific realtor! He took the stress out of selling our house and helping us buy another home in the same town. He is extremely knowledgeable on the buying and selling process and what was going on in the market. His knowledge around prepping our house to sell fast was  invaluable. I would highly recommend Mike for your next buy or sell of a home.

Buyer | Seller

Mike is a very dedicated, hard working, and knowledgeable real estate agent. I used Mike in listing my house in efforts to short sell, which I thought was going to be a long and awful process, however the entire process was fast and painless. I would definitely recommend Mike to anyone who is either purchasing or selling a home. Less

Michael helped close a deal on a short sale for me. He was on call 7 days a week for me and followed up to make sure everything was on track. Excellent agent and will go above and beyond his "normal duties". Gave me great advise on the purchase and put me in touch with the right people. Thanks again!

Michael sold our home very quickly and was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch professional realtor. His professionalism was outstanding and he continued to check in with us after the move to ensure that everything went smoothly.

We used a few other realtors to sell our house in Montgomery Illinois, but Mike was the only realtor that was able to sell our house for the price we wanted. Mike was fantastic to work with and we highly recommend him if you are looking to sell or buy a home.

Mike helped us purchase this house. He was very thorough, and we enjoyed working with him. His market knowledge was impressive. He had to work with a very difficult seller's agent but was able to get the deal done. I would highly recommend Mike.
